I follow a lot of crafty mama blogs, and they all use a certain set of terms that are just funny to me. I have a degree in Marketing, so I understand the idea of language marketing. Still it's funny. Here are the words that get me.

vintage (ummm you mean, old?)

re-purposed, or upcycled (hmmm recycled?)

inspiration (let's be honest, we're all stealing ideas)

I guess they are funny to me, because I get sucked into using them, and sucked into looking at stuff and thinking it's cooler when it's "vintage" or "repurposed". Instead of just an old, recycled t-shirt.

I'm spending my day off baking 24 loaves of bread. I was given some friendship bread starter a couple of months ago and I have officially run out of friends to give it to. So...I kept all four bags, and am baking all of the bread and ending the cycle. It's a little sad. I've got 8 loaves baked, 2 in the oven, and can do no more in the process until I free up some dishes.

So, for now I am catching up on my internet stalking. In doing so I came across this band...very beautiful.

It makes me want to turn the music up, lie on my bed and listen to it over and over. Feeling very somber and smart.
